Blaze is bringing 34 Activision classics to a new $70 Super Pocket

I love collecting physical and I personally feel Blaze currently has the best ecosystem for them. So I will post anything they release!

Blaze Entertainment has announced the HyperMegaTech! Super Pocket Activision Edition, a $70 retro handheld packing 34 classic Atari 2600-era games. The device launches on September 28, 2026, and pre-orders are open now. We are blessed with another great Evercade console, especially since this one doubles as a portable cartridge player for the company's entire physical media ecosystem.

The announcement came via the official Evercade Bluesky account. The post included a short trailer showing off the hardware. The device has a black shell with the classic rainbow Activision logo striping across the front. It is the eighth entry in the Super Pocket line, following previous models dedicated to publishers like Capcom, Data East, and Rare.

34 games on a 2.8-inch screen

The Super Pocket Activision Edition includes a massive chunk of the publisher's early catalog. You get heavy hitters like Pitfall!, River Raid, H.E.R.O., and Kaboom!, alongside deeper cuts like Spider Fighter and Plaque Attack. These are the original Atari 2600 versions. Activision essentially defined the third-party publishing model in the early 1980s when a group of disgruntled Atari programmers left to form their own company. This lineup covers most of their best work from that era.

Pitfall! was a massive commercial success in 1982 and helped establish the side-scrolling platformer genre. River Raid, designed by Carol Shaw, remains one of the tightest vertical shooters on the Atari 2600. H.E.R.O. Is another standout. It has complex multi-screen exploration that was highly unusual for the hardware at the time.

The hardware itself keeps the same form factor as previous Super Pockets. It has a 2.8-inch IPS screen running at a 320 by 240 resolution. That pixel density is plenty sharp for blocky Atari sprites. Blaze promises over four hours of battery life from the internal battery. You also get USB-C charging and a standard 3.5mm headphone jack. The face buttons are white, contrasting nicely with the black shell and the bright rainbow stripes. It also includes four shoulder buttons on the back to support more complex games if you decide to plug in a modern indie cartridge.

The cartridge slot on the back

The real draw of the Super Pocket line is the cartridge slot on the back. The 34 built-in games provide a solid foundation, but the device also accepts any standard Evercade cartridge. Blaze has released over 70 physical collections so far. The library covers everything from arcade ports and 16-bit console games to modern indie releases and home computer classics.

If you already own a full-size Evercade EXP or VS console, your existing physical library works here. The Super Pocket just gives you a smaller, more pocketable way to play them. At $70, it is a very accessible entry point into the ecosystem.

A better deal than the standalone carts

Blaze previously released three separate Activision cartridge collections for the Evercade. Buying all three of those carts would cost around $60 on their own. The Super Pocket bundles almost all of those games directly into the hardware for just $10 more. You get a brand new handheld in the process.

The timing makes sense. Retro handhelds are flooding the market right now, but most of them rely on users providing their own ROM files. The Evercade ecosystem takes a fully licensed, physical media approach. You buy a box, you get a manual, and you plug the cartridge into the system. The Super Pocket Activision Edition leans into that philosophy. It offers a generous built-in library right out of the box.
